The Dread Line: Liam Mulligan Series, Book 5
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read, Open EPUB eBook)
The Dread Line: the latest Liam Mulligan novel from award winning author Bruce DeSilva.
Since he got fired in spectacular fashion from his newspaper job last year, former investigative reporter Liam Mulligan has been piecing together a new life—one that straddles both sides of the law. He's getting some part-time work with his friend McCracken's detective agency. He's picking up beer money by freelancing for a local news website. And he's looking after his semi-retired mobster-friend's bookmaking business.
But Mulligan still manages to find trouble. He's feuding with a cat that keeps leaving its kills on his porch. He's obsessed with a baffling jewelry heist. And he's enraged that someone in town is torturing animals. All this keeps distracting him from a big case that needs his full attention. The New England Patriots, shaken by a series of murder charges against a star player, have hired Mulligan and McCracken to investigate the background of a college athlete they're thinking of drafting. At first, the job seems routine, but as soon as they begin asking questions, they get push-back. The player, it seems, has something to hide—and someone is willing to kill to make sure it remains secret.

July 18, 2016
In Edgar-winner DeSilva’s overly busy fifth Liam Mulligan novel (after 2015’s A Scourge of Vipers), the Rhode Island reporter turned PI has become a partner in an illegal gambling enterprise. This connection comes in handy when the New England Patriots hire Mulligan’s investigative firm to do a deep background check on an offensive tackle, Conner Bowditch. The football team is considering trading up in the draft to select Bowditch, but, in light of increased character problems among NFL players, wants to be sure that he has no skeletons in his closet. Despite Bowditch’s sterling personal reputation, Mulligan is convinced that he does have something to hide. Meanwhile, Mulligan is also dealing with a sadist who’s kidnapping dogs and torching them, as well as a baffling jewelry heist from a bank’s safety deposit box. DeSilva throws in some clever twists, but the compelling moral dilemma his lead faces ends up underdeveloped. Spenser fans will find this a passable substitute. Agent: Susanna Einstein, Einstein Thompson Agency.

Getting fired from the Providence Dispatch has done nothing to lighten Liam Mulligan's workload; the first chronicle of his work as a part-time private eye piles no fewer than three cases on his back.The first job is the most straightforward: find the masked robber who stuck a gun in Ellington Cargill's fabulously wealthy face while he was using his safe-deposit box at the Jamestown office of Pell Savings and Trust and walked away with jewelry valued at $6.3 million. The second has the client with the deepest pockets: the New England Patriots, who want McCracken & Associates, whose sole associate is Mulligan, to vet Conner Bowditch, the Boston College defensive tackle they plan to draft if he checks out. Since Mulligan (A Scourge of Vipers, 2015, etc.) already knows Bowditch's not going to check out--he's in debt to Mulligan's old friend Dominic "Whoosh" Zerilli, the bookie who's generously cut Mulligan in for a piece of his action--this job is a little complicated. But it's not nearly as complicated as the third job: catching the creep who's kidnapping dogs on the island of Conanicut, dousing them with lighter fluid, and setting them on fire. Mulligan, who's just acquired two dogs of his own in the hope of protecting his homestead from the depredations of the fiend he dubs Cat the Ripper, is more than happy to join the hunt for this lowlife even without a client or a fee. But although the Bowditch affair drags on the longest and requires the most fireworks to resolve, it's the search for the dog killer that ends up touching Mulligan most deeply. Though all three cases are wound up less convincingly than they're laid out, fans of DeSilva's cleareyed, heartfelt anatomy of crime and punishment in Rhode Island won't mind a bit.COPYRIGHT(2016) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
